### Penance for the Excess of the First Mahāvat
18. A monk who speaks harsh words or approves of someone speaking them.
**Discussion:** Harsh language uses harsh words. Monks and nuns who follow the language code should not use such harsh language because it is harmful.
If, due to circumstances, one becomes agitated, one should try to remain silent while following the code of speech.
Words of reproach, orders, instruction, and inspiration that are devoid of affection are all considered "mild harsh words" according to the Chūrṇikāra. This penance is for such harsh words.
**Example:**
1. A monk could not find his tool where he had left it. He asked the monk sitting there, "I left my tool here, where did it go?" The monk replied, "I don't know."
